Comment (by xkon):

 If the idea is to change everything into a youtube-nocookie by default and
 changing back to youtube needs manual edits or extra steps, I'm not
 comfortable with that even as a privacy maintainer (if that counts).

 It's up to the site owners to select if they want youtube vs youtube-
 nocookie and then a different discussion starts, but practically it's
 their choice and we have to respect that.

 Optimally there should be an option for example when youtube urls are
 identified with maybe a UI (simple select option) asking if they want to
 convert it to a youtube-nocookie or something similar :) . We can't force
 it though in my opinion.

 Just my 2c.
